3 1/2 weeks into our first deployment

Typing "3 1/2 weeks into this is" the easiest part... getting this far has been an emotional roller coaster for me. I keep a journal to write to my fiancé each night and it helps me feel like I still get to tell him all about my days but I get no response, that's where I thought this blog would come in handy! I haven't heard from my sailor in about 2 weeks and even then it was an email from underway. I feel lost! He's my best friend and without him my life isn't the same at all. When he first left I think I was so confused and didn't know what to expect, I was also in denial in a way. I cried a lot, and would talk to anyone that'd listen. Now I find it a tiny bit easier to mask my sadness and keep the tears behind closed doors. Besides the journal I also write letters to send to Jimmy and last night I wrote him a nice long one telling him I was going to find a new hobby so this is it! I also find myself looking for new navy wife friends more these days since I will be one soon myself. It takes a special kind of person to do what our significant others do for this country and it takes a special somebody to standby them, I know I'm strong but without a little support I know these deployments will drive me nuts! I think this is a great outlet for support and meeting more people, hopefully I'm right. I'm still trying to figure out the ins and outs of this web page thing and so any helpful tips would be much appreciated. Well, I'm off to find some "followers" and become a follower to other Military wives pages :-)
